MoRGASTOwN, ". VA, May 22.-Quite
an i'll feeling was stirred Up by an article
in this weeks Echo, the University paper.
We are are not prepared to endorse the
sentiment contained in the article, but it
certainly seems that the feeling OF hostility
Of some students incurred by two members
Of the Faculty in the suspension at the be-
ginning ofthe spring term has not been en-
tirely erased from memory. The time Is
rapidly approaching for that august body,
the Board Of Regents, to sit, and it Is to be
hoped that better understanding between
a certain few students and their beloved
professors may be definitely arrived AZ.
The Lewis Opera Company appeared to
large audience last night in Academy
Hall. This Is the first time ''Mikado
has ever been presented in MOrgantOwn,
and il is safe to say that he'Performanee
was in every particular up TO the high ex-
pectation Ofthe audience. Though lsbOr-
ing under some disadvantages for want OF
scenery and stage accommodations IN
which Academy Hall is slightly lacking
they gave a rendition Of this popular
comic opea worth many times the price Of
admission The hearty applause with
which the company was greeted showed
that the audience fully appreciated the
merit Of the performance. The playing OF
.'Ko Eo' by Mr.. Ed. .. MeCuen was par
ticularly fine. His powers Of expression
and character delineatiOn are surpassed by
few. Mr.. c. Parker As ''Nanki Poo. =" Mr..
J. T Bane Is Poo Bah, and Miss Blaneh
Van Ohlen as Yum Yum" sustained their
parts admirably.
Miss Won Ohlen acting was speculative
q excellent. Rarely has 4 more charming
and attractive lady appeared upon the stage
before a MOrgantOwn audience. The COM
pany IL first class in every respect and We
have no hesitation in pronounciDg this rem
dition of Mikado as the best opera ever
gwen in this town.
Mr.. Z : Elliott. OF the Senior class of

The boardwalk gong to the University
still remains in its dilapIdlted condition. a
disgrace 10 any town. The town council
have utterly refused to make any repairs
aud the visitors during Commencement will
he compelled 10 take the dusty street. IL
Is a perfect disgrace for the town 10 show
in such q way their appreciation Of an in
StitutiOn that makes it.
